Scheduler Breakage, ESM Lock-in, and CI Drift

Bugs & Fixes

PR #312: Scheduler Brace Definition Fix

The correct defining structure was removed or corrupted in the scheduler, which causes runtime failures in the environment. This is a huge liability if you are using the framework for automated workflows, so check your version before deploying.

Migration & Breaking Changes

Breaking: No Fallbacks for ESM-Only Migration

The core team is officially blocking support for dynamic imports, pushing everyone toward standard modules. If you are running bespoke loaders or CommonJS hacks, this breaks your setup immediately.

CI/CD & Automation

Runner Deprecation Causes Auto-Update Failures

The runner environment is being deprecated, but the automated scripts aren't updating the config correctly. This creates build failures on merge, meaning your CI pipelines need manual patching right now.

Quality & Testing

False Positive: Pending Async Detection Issue

There's a known issue where testing frameworks incorrectly detect pending operations, leading to timeouts in your test suites despite the code being correct. It's burning CI minutes and masking real bugs.

Repo Health

Repo Pulse: Backlog Velocity vs. Merge Rate

The weekly velocity metrics show a critical backlog growing faster than the merge rate. We are seeing structural strain on the repo, so don't expect quick fixes for non-critical issues.
